Foregoing FOREGOs

[SSH]

Well, due to the lack of interest when I mentioned them before, and also getting very busy at work, I don't think I'll have time to runthe FOREGO awards this year. I'd be more than happy to support someone else to pick them up and do with them as they will, though, so any volunteers...

[Dart]

Well, before I volunteer to help out, I, and probably other people out there would like to know how many hours it takes to run the FOREGO awards.

If it's only a few hours of work, then that's fine, but if it's more than that I'm unable to help out, unfortunately. Those damn high school exams... -_-

Off Topic:

Dart: get your butler to do it

On Topic: Id be happy to help anyone that decides to do it, but I dont facy taking on the challenge by myself.

[SSH]

Well, it takes hardly any time to do at all if you set up a spreadsheet to tally results and then just add to that as votes come in.However, it took ages for me last year, as I had to go around harrasing people to get votes. Maybe this year there will be more enthusiasm, but htne it did take a week for anyone to reply to the thread...

Just make sure to make some really nifty categories.
Like "Best Swedish elf-boy pacifist", "Best ATC-administrator", "Best european non-nazi global moderator" etc

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

"Best Andail"? :

[SSH]

Before giving up, I had been going to add: "Best avatar featuring a kilt", "Best Scottish father of two daughters" and "Best author of a savegames with screenshots tutorial"

[veryweirdguy]

Ah, well, if I were going to be in charge....I'd add.....um...."Best......um.....guy....who...."....

...

...."has a goose avatar?......"

* veryweirdguy needs more accomplishments

You made such a tutorial, SSH? COuld you link me so I could add it to my resource page?

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Ah, it's part of the eZine. In that case I won't link to it, it wouldn't be right. Thanks anyway.

[Vel]

Actually, the link to the ezine is now:
http://www.adventuredevelopers.com/engines.php

And how about 'Best Ezine creator'?

[Dart]

Okay, so it seems like my butler (Hotspot) and are I going to make the FOREGO Awards happen.

Be sure to look out for a thread concerning these awards in the near future.

[DragonRose]

I feel really silly for saying this, but I can't remember what the Forgoes are. Could someone explain?

[veryweirdguy]

SSH kindly made this list of last year's winners (& therefore catagories) of the Foregos at the time:

http://www.twin-design.com/foregos/

That should explain it rather well.

[Andail]

Those previous awards are completely flawed...I don't agree on anyone of them....I hope Dart will make sure things are handled fairly and squarly this time

I looooooooooooooooove this impartiality!

Spoiler

Psst. Dart. Hotspot. I can promise you good things if you include a category for Best Resource Site Keeper With A Name Starting With R And Ending With S. Honest. Hey, would I lie to you?

How about least annoying n00b?Ã,  :
(well, can't be too annoying when I don't post much!)

[DragonRose]

Pelican: We used to have a "best newbie" award, but that was for the Ergos, and it was only awarded once. We go through too many newbies to keep track of them all.
